PBarry Great album front-to-back! I love the slower, gaze-y vibe many of the songs have, but "Into the Sunset and Fade" is a really fun one! Favorite track: Into the Sunset and Fade.

Feeling better again I woke up from that dream with the biggest of grins Left that daemon behind after looking at him I opened up my arms and took to the air As long as you are my friend My smile won't disappear Because I can change Another day will begin So open up your arms and fill them up with the wind And you’ll float above me And I’ll hover below you Put your arms around this fool In the warmth of this cocoon Coming up again You’ll blossom like a rose in the width of the field And reaching for the sun you'll find a way Deliver it to someone far away As long as you are my friend My smile won't disappear Because I will change Another day will begin So open up your heart and fill it up with the wind And you’ll float above me And I’ll hover below you Put your arms around this fool In the warmth of this cocoon
2.	Stranger Amongst Strangers 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Long ago I used to dream In vivid colours Blue on the clouds Green with envy Breathing under the water Now I’m awaken to reality And feeling the pressure Of all the faces looking straight through me A stranger amongst strangers And I can't see your face I can't see your face So here we are in a fantasy Feeling under the weather Upon reflection it’s not what it seems Can you be my mirror? Lines in your brow Leaves in the tea Tell a future uncertain When the way forward is so hard to see Clouded all out by your history And I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face I can't see your face And I can't see your face

Somehow I can’t seem to breathe ‘Cause it burns Somehow smoke seems to seep In my heart through my veins Chokes me up and I can't say What I want to Now I guess that you’ll never know What I feel deep inside Finds a place and then hides Goodbye I’m going away Off into another day You won’t miss me but I’ll be okay Just let me fly Somehow I can't seem to think I can’t bear The thought that you’d leave So I take a little something To put my mind at calm and ease And now I’m flying Soaring up in the air so high And I’m never coming down No I’ll never touch the ground But you won’t miss me, no…. You won’t miss me Goodbye I’m going away Off into another day You won’t miss me but I’ll be okay Just let me hide Just let me fly Just let me fly Just let me fly Just let me fly
4.	Monkey Off My Chest 06:32	lyrics	buy track
Change your mind Change it on a dime And all you've got is change When I only want to hold you And feel this way again But you change your mind You change it all the time And all I've got is rage When I only want this monkey off my chest And breathe the air again Change your mind Change it every time Who gives a fuck anyway And you think that they would tell you But the jokes on you again Then I saw the signs In your face, your eyes Then you walked away To you I pray don't go If only I had a god beside me To hold my hand If only I had a good behind me Who understands Change your mind Change it all the time And all you've got is change When I only want to love you And feel this way again Then I saw the signs In your face, your eyes Then you walked away To you I pray don't go
5.	Hotel Leipzig 06:33	lyrics	buy track
A hotel in Leipzig Under the stars I’m like a ghost there with your secrets Locked in your heart And when you go there can you still feel me? Down in your soul ‘Cause when I look out the window There’s only your star And now I’m wishing that I was with you Wrapped in your arms But I’m drifting into the ether As you move on So I’ll be on my way Leaving tonight on a ghost train I’m waving goodbye to my best friend She’s leaving tonight for somewhere else So look boy You have to face it You lost the plot But don’t you ever give up on me ‘Cause there’s still a spark But I’ll be on my way Leaving tonight on a ghost train I’m waving goodbye to my best friend She’s staying behind for someone else So tonight I’ll Try to piece back my heart In a hotel in Leipzig I fall like a star
6.	Life Raft 04:47	lyrics	buy track
Finding it hard to believe That you would walk away so fast I’m falling down to my knees ‘Cause I know you’re never coming back Palms upon my face embrace The saline pouring from my eyes Upon on the floor I take my place Amongst these shattered dreams of mine Because I find it hard to believe That you ever could’ve loved me like that Stepped out on me so fast And I won’t be right back I’m out to sea Life raft I’m gutted and my heart bleeds And hurting myself don’t sound so bad There was a time when we agreed That we would have each other’s backs But the knife remains in its place Can feel it running down my spine And would it be to your distaste? To fall on my sword just one more time Because I find it hard to believe That you ever could’ve done me like that Stepped out on me so fast And I won’t be right back I’m out to sea Life raft Could’ve loved me like that Stepped out on me so fast And I won’t be right back I’m out to sea Life raft
7.	Into the Sunset and Fade 04:52	lyrics	buy track
Pillows and sheets Is where we used to meet Your long dark hair I used to go down there Between your eyes You kept me mesmerised I lost myself Now you can’t find me anywhere in space and time Oh I love you but I have to say goodbye To our story and rip out the whole page and the spine And our love song has such bitter words No reprise As our love slips into the sunset and fades I feel, you felt Under a spell we fell We had some fun And then we made some love We both imbibed Got high off our supply We killed ourselves And now our ashes lay to waste in space and time You once loved me but now you have to say goodbye We’re not growing and seem to wilt away over time Coming or going, say hello today Then goodbye As our love slips into the sunset and fades Our love so sweet A recent memory That fades with time Forgotten and gone by Our memories Left to antiquity We lost ourselves Now you can't find us anywhere in space and time We once loved but now we have to say goodbye To our story and rip out the whole page and the spine And our love song has such bitter words No reprise As our love slips into the sunset and fades
8.	Love Bites (But You Have Not Tasted) 05:46	lyrics	buy track
Once in a while when I dream about you I kinda get the blues Somewhere deep in my sleep there I can still feel you And when I wake and find the space is empty To the bed I stayed glued Somehow I’ve got to leave it Don’t know how I will do Should I reach out and try to tell you I love you? Task of an errant fool It's alright can almost taste it There is nothing to lose There is nothing to lose… It's alright can almost taste it There is nothing to lose There is nothing to lose… It's alright can almost taste it There is nothing to lose And there are times when your light starts fading And you get stuck in a mood Your heart aches, your mind is racing And you can't find a groove In/out of phases your going through changes Just like the tides and the moon The sun's light will reflect on your face then You'll feel the glow inside you So take a chance again and finally let fate in 'Cause pain's a part of life too Love bites but you have not tasted But there is nothing to lose There is nothing to lose… Love bites but you have not tasted But there is nothing to lose There is nothing to lose… It's alright can almost taste it There is nothing to lose There is nothing to lose… It's alright can almost taste it There is nothing to lose There is nothing to lose… Love bites but you have not tasted But there is nothing to lose

This gorgeous album is doing a slow soak into my daily movements. To my ears I hear a parallel universe where Broadcast became a shoegaze band. Tristan Louth-Robins

Shoegaze royalty. Often aped, but never beaten, this might be their strongest release yet. Mesmerising. theUtmost

I waited around to buy this EP and that was a mistake - I should have picked it up right away. Highly recommended for lovers of shoegaze, dream pop, or just good music. todd1049

There's a genre debate going on in the comments and my contribution is that dream pop and shoegaze often seem completely interchangable to me the way people use them as terms (ofc genre is a slippery, subjective thing) -- this evokes 'dream pop' to me a lot more than some other things that confidently claim the subgenre. floaty, reverby, pretty in a wistful-haunting way.
